Before adding fuel: it is very important that the correct quality of fuel is used – so check again to
be sure. Bio-alcohol in gelatinous form, or ethanol fuel for automobiles such as E85, must not be
used under any circumstances! If non-recommended fuel is used, it can lead to greatly reduced
characteristics and also constitute a potential health hazard with risk of personal injury. Faults
that arise due to use of incorrect fuel are not covered by the guarantee. If you feel uncertain,
consult with the personnel at the place of sale in order to ensure purchase of the right fuel
quality.
4.2.2 Refilling with fuel
Warning! Denatured ethanol burns with an almost invisible flame under certain conditions.
This may happen, for example, when the level in the burner is low. Therefore it is very important
that the hearth is extinguished completely after use, and that it is allowed to cool for at least 15
minutes before more fuel is added. To add fuel in a burning hearth is very dangerous and can
cause an explosion.
Note 1! Add fuel when the hearth is about to be used – the burner has a safety function that
makes it harder to start when the fuel has been standing for more than 20 minutes. Read more at
point 4 in Section 4.1 Lighting the hearth.
Note 2! The burner may contain fuel from previous firing. The tank’s total volume is 2 litres.
Therefore, do not add more than is needed according to point 5 below.
The following steps should be taken when adding fuel:
1. See that the hearth is completely extinguished, by checking that the regulator lid is closed,
and that the hearth has been allowed to cool for at least 15 minutes with the lid closed.
2. Check that the correct fuel is used. Vauni recommends that the hearth be filled from bio-
ethanol packaged in bottles of 1 litre.
3. Open the regulator lid completely. Start filling by holding the bottle to the burner’s opening,
angled so that the fuel flows in the burner’s length direction, from right to left or vice versa.
(Figure 13) Pour the fuel carefully down into the burner matrix. If necessary, a stainless steel
funnel can be used as an aid. Add carefully until fuel is no longer absorbed by the burner
matrix. The liquid level must not rise above the burner matrix by more than 1 mm. (Figure 14)
Then the burner is fully tanked, which corresponds to 2 litres of bioalcohol.
Note! For safety reasons the fuel transfer occurs with some delay. To avoid over-filling the
burner, it is important to give the fuel time to settle downward. Be especially careful, therefore,
during the last part of the filling. Let the bottle drip a little over the opening before removing it.
